Cisco goes to the vet

It was check up time again so here is Cisco in his carrier. He really is fairly cooperative (for a cat). But after having blood drawn, temperature taken, blood pressure taken, etc., he was very stressed and threw up in the carrier on his tail on the way home. Poor baby. They tell me he is fairly healthy for a senior cat (age 13).

OBSERVATIONS

I write about what I experience in life - some difficult, some fun, some just wondering.

Gifts of Recovery

"...the moment we begin to see truth, justice, and love as the real and eternal things in life, we are no longer deeply disturbed by all the seeming evidence to the contrary that surrounds us in purely human affairs. We know that God lovingly watches over us. We know that when we turn to Him, all will be well with us, here and hereafter." Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.
